I write grounded epic fantasy—mythic in scale, disciplined in magic, precise in violence—where humor disarms, trauma compounds, and character rather than prophecy decides the fate of the world.
Pinned
I’m building a world where
systems outlive villains,
restraint costs more than violence,
and songs are treated like weapons.

Nothing here is about destiny.

It’s about what people choose
when the math turns against them.

Director is too clean. Actor is too loud.
I'm the witness.

I’m the guy in the corner going, thinking...
“Oh. You’re really going to do that.”
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

When you write a scene with your character, are you the director overseeing their actions, or are you playing the part of one or more characters? Something else?

Does that change depending on the circumstances?

One of my early Readers loves one of my characters... I said he's really the best character in the first act...

I cried writing a few of his scenes...

I rarely cry...

Sometimes Writing is cathartic...

Sometimes good writing means making hard choices...

I want people to read my work...

Also me...

I just want to write...

Violence ends.

Memory doesn’t.

That’s the kind of fantasy I care about.

& A lesson the world could use right now.

After four perilous months of writing 30+ hours a week while working full time.

I finally finished two books, and instead of joy I feel a little empty and burned out.

As if the muse burned my soul as fuel for her words and now needs me to replenish it before feeding on me again.

Sometimes once I finish something... I get that Emily Dickinson feeling... maybe I should put this in the attic... or just burn it.

Anyone else feel that way?

The world keeps insisting he become a weapon.

He keeps insisting on being a person.

That argument is the story.

I have been journaling ideas for years. I have been building words for decades... but I only really started to write last year.

Now I have a book draft finished and many others in the works. The writing has become obsessive. I feel like the Emily Dickinson of Fantasy.

Hi @bsky.app writers. @dtronaustin.bsky.social

I write epic fantasy grounded in consequence—mythic in scale, disciplined in magic, exacting in violence—where character, not prophecy, determines the fate of the world.

Drafting thirty hours a week for 8 weeks straight.

This can't last.

Can it?

Hi everyone.

I write epic fantasy where the jokes are a warning, the violence has limits, and the most dangerous character is the one trying not to become a god.

Peace only feels dramatic once you know how fragile it was."
